You are correct!!! My bad!! Sorry about that.Georgia plays Kentucky in Athens the week before they play us.

I'm trying my hardest to get on that Clemson line. That'll drop like a rock soon.
What site if you don't mind. My bookie won't do it.I got it at 6.5 on my site and went ahead and locked it in.
Since I don't bet -- no moral qualms, just too cheap -- might I offer a bit of restraint before calling for found money? Line might not be coincidental given that the last two seasons -- '15 we were awful, '16 we were good, Clemson thumped us by 19 points both times. I don't think it will be 18 either, and we have a good chance of winning, and this rivalry needs one down to the wire to remain a rivalry, but just saying: the numbers don't lie.What site if you don't mind.

Yea, I do too. He just won't take futures on stuff like this.I have a local guy that operates his own site.
GEORGIA TECH - 6.5
UNDER. Tech could be as good as they were a year ago and still only manage six wins. Non-conference games with Tennessee and Georgia bookend the season, and UCF, who hosts the Yellow Jackets in Week 3 isn’t the pushover it was a few years back.
Ok... how do I place my bet?
Just like any salesman tells you what a great buying decision you are making when you make it.My bookie has over/unders. I called him last week and laid $250 on us to cover the over. He told me I might as well pay you now.
Georgia Tech
The Yellow Jackets return an ACC Coastal division-high 16 starters off a team that finished last season with four straight wins including upsets over Virginia Tech and Georgia. That means they should be great, right? Not quite. Georgia Tech was extremely fortunate to go 9-4 last year. It went 3-1 in games decided by less than a touchdown, and ranked sixth in the nation in recovering 66 percent of fumbles. Those are both red flags where some regression should be expected. Odds-wise, Georgia Tech starts the season behind divisional rivals Miami and Virginia Tech but ahead of North Carolina and Pittsburgh. It’s debatable at best that the Yellow Jackets are better than the Tar Heels and Panthers.
